I received an MFT/3 on Friday and set it up this weekend.  When it was all set up, I had 2 parts left over as seen in the pictures.  Does anyone know where these are from and where they should go?

Thanks.
 
found those parts as well when I set up my mft/3.  I believe you will find they are part of the support that holds the guide rail to the table.  Not the swing side but the guide side.  I don't remember for sure but i think that is where it went
 
I think these guys are right, it's looks to be the knob and bolt or the fence. Check out the know in the center of the picture, I think that's it.
 
I found the same parts when I ordered the fence. And I thought I found the first mistake from Festool. I tried to insert the bolt from the wrong side and the knob could not catch the thread. One side has a round hole (knob side) and the other a square to fix the bolt. After some time I was about to call Festool for help. I used the manual for the phone number and by pure luck my eye fell on the image of the assembly of this knob.
As a mechanical engineer you can be too clever for simple things. But I felt stupid anyway.
